5.Confirming condition of the environment:

Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to prescribed precautions.

When sanding a thin steel plate, depending upon the state of the workbench, a loud noise will be created due to resounding noise from the steel plate being ground. To eliminate unwanted noise in this instance, place a rubber mat beneath the material to be ground.

6.Confirming and mounting the wool bonnet and sanding disc

Confirm that the wool bonnet and sanding disc is mounted under the specified condition and is firmly clamped.

For details, refer to the item “Assembling and Disassembling the Wool Bonnet and Sanding Disc”.

7.Confirm the lock pin

Confirm that the lock pin is disengaged by pushing lock pin two or three times before switching the power tool on.

8.Fixing the loop handle

Fix the loop handle with a bolt and a washer to the gear cover.

9.Keep the Hook and Loop fastener clean

Always keep the Hook and Loop fastener of the backing pad and sponge pad (Magic type) clean. If the Hook and Loop fastener becomes dirty, the sponge pad will separate possibly from the backing pad and fly off.
